MAIN STORY

The
series premiered in 1989*. Stopped in 2007 after 18 issues.

The main character is a
1-year old lively and slightly mischievous toddler known as Toupet
(which can, among others, mean Cheeky in English). He often drives his
parents Robert and Hélène Dubois as well as his neighbours up the wall
with his childish curiosity and startling whims. One of his favourite
activities is banging on things with a hammer.
